Hey girl.

Hey girl.

My face hurts.

My face hurts from our conversation with change.

It's really.

I screamed so many times.

I apparently am Syed Jones.

And I'm apparently Zach Stafford, and you're listening to Vibe Check.

We have Jay Jordan with us today who just left.

That's how we do these shows.

They come...

He came through and wrecked us.

Jumped on the Zoom. It began. An hour later, we were like, wait a come. He came through and wrecked us. Jumped on the Zoom.

It began.

An hour later, we were like, wait a minute.

We'd even say who we were, who he was. We just got into it. I forgot to turn on my recorder. I just like was fully broke. Disarray. And it's because it's such a good time. And if you don't know Jay Jirden, he is a comedian, he is our friend, he's a black gay man from the south like us.

And he now has a special out called Yes, ma'am, on who? If you don't know Jay Jirdin, he is a comedian, he is our friend, he's a black gay man from the South like us.

And he now has a special out called Yes, Ma'am, on Hulu, like a real adult. She got her own special, and it's the only good special, as I.e. Jones will say. Sorry to everyone else. It's the only funny comedy special. It's so good.

So we thought we'd have Jay on today to talk about his special,

but also reflect on the year in which I keep telling everyone,

we laugh so much so we wouldn't cry at everything falling apart. And Jay Jarden, if you know, his work is so smart, so intelligent, so tapped into what's going on in the world and leaves room for us all to laugh and still get up and fight for another day. So we thought he'd be the perfect person to talk about, why are comics currently leading, maybe the revolution, maybe the end of the world? Who knows? We're going to see what happens. And, you know, Jay is not afraid to call out bullshit, to call out comedians who are making, you know, unproductive choices. So that's very helpful as well. But before we get into the episode, we, of course, want to thank all of you who continue to listen to the show. Don't forget, you can email us anytime at vibecheck. At stitcher.com.
